2. Army vs. Navy

Amateur sports at its finest. If you don’t think this one matters, watch the tears flow at the end of the game – and watch each team stand at attention for each other’s alma mater. (Matt Slocum/AP)

4. Texas vs. Oklahoma

There’s nothing quite like standing in the only tunnel at the historic Cotton Bowl, and watching officials hold back one team while the other runs onto the field before the game. Fights, people. Fights. (LM Otero/AP)

5. Florida vs. Georgia

Years ago, they used to separate tickets for each team’s fans in the old Gator Bowl in Jacksonville by quarters. Then they realized alcohol and hate didn’t mix well with proximity, so they split the stadium in two. Oh yeah, and then there’s the hatred on the field. (Stephen Morton/AP)

7. Oregon vs. Oregon State

They call it the Civil War, and the close proximity (50 miles) between the two campuses leads to passion-fueled hate up and down Interstate 5. Nike money has allowed both programs to beef up over the last decade, and the rivalry to blossom nationally. (Don Ryan/AP)

9. Clemson vs. South Carolina

Only recently has the rest of the nation been exposed to the passion and hate of the Palmetto State. The rivalry between the two programs is the largest uninterrupted series in the South, and second-longest uninterrupted FBS series. (Mary Ann Chastain/AP)
